Grilled Salmon with Tomato-Avocado Relish

Cooking Light Fresh Food Fast Special Edition had a photo of their Grilled Salmon with Tomato-Red Onion Relish on the cover that caught my eye. I couldn't find a picture of that edition to link to, but that photo inspired me to make this Grilled Salmon with Tomato-Avocado Relish when we went camping.

To make the Tomato-Avocado Relish, simply slice cherry tomatoes--both red and yellow--in half, dice an avocado, thinly slice some green onions & half a bunch of cilantro, toss with some lime and/or lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. The citrus juices go well with the fish and the avocado adds a nice creaminess.

Scroll down to the end of this post for a recipe if you'd like to skip the details of our camping trip. I don't mind.

For years, we have been camping in the Eastern Sierra, but this year, with my new granddaughter only several weeks old, my son-in-law Mitchell found us a campground on the Western Sierra side, closer to them.

Mitchell spent a lot of time researching campgrounds to find us one that met our requirements at Dinkey Creek--we appreciate your hard work, Mitchell! As it turned out, they had to suddenly fly to Florida and were unable to join us.

Okay. I'm going camping with you next time. No one can stop me! I mean, come on... who eats like that when they're camping? Even Oprah doesn't eat like that. I would know, I saw her camping episode. Way to go for keeping it classy in the great outdoors. Glad you had fun.

Jessica told me how much fun the camping trip was with you guys and the food looks AMAZING! Not most people's typical camp food. You are so gifted at organizing, cooking, blogging, writing, photography, and on and on!
